SheetsdrillFirst name with SPLIT
A Google Sheets formula exercise from Sheetsdrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Names are typed as "Last, First". Return just the first name in B2 and B3 using SPLIT.
What this exercise teaches
SPLIT treats each character of the delimiter as a separator by default, so ", " splits on the comma and on the space, and empty pieces are dropped.
A hint if you get stuck
SPLIT returns one row of pieces. INDEX(SPLIT(...), 1, 2) picks the second piece.
